mx generally yes

rdns has to be done via opening a support ticket currently

the ip of your vps needs to have the rdns record set to the system hostname of your server

Dear bordman,

I follow your guide step by step but my email still NOT working. Please help me.

Surely. First off are you seeing the email tabs in ispmanager? This will be under (to the left in the option menus) accounts as 'E-Mail boxes' and under domains 'E-mail domains' if it was successfully installed with ispmanager.

It's possible if you have just set up this site and just pointed your domains to your new vps server, that they simply haven't updated yet. If this isn't the case, let me know and hopefully we can get it working for you and update the tutorial if need be.

Dear bordman, Yes i can see the email tabs in ISPmanager. The same also with 'E-Mail boxes' and 'Email-mail domains'.

Its more than 24 hours now and I think my dns should already pointing to my domain. But I still cannot make my email account to work. I can connect to POP but cannot received any mail. SMTP is totally cannot connect.

P.S.: I would like to give you my admin details of my ISPmanager so you can look at my settings. I really don't know what else to do.

P.P.S.: I have also ask VPS.NET Support to setup reserve DNS and MX records for my domain as pointed out by anthonysomerset but still no luck.

I hope the data above can help you (or someone that kind enough to help me)analyze this problem as I'm very new to these kind of stuff.

I love using ISP Manager Pro. Hope this problem can be solved. Thanks in advance.

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

[anthonysomerset]

whats your system hostname?

do you have the A record for your system hostname setup and pointed at your vps IP?

do you have reverse dns for the IP set to the hostname (not so important for recieving as for sending)

have you set the hostname correctly in ispmanager?

[paperweight]

I need an ISPmanager Pro license for a VM that has been running for a couple months and already has lots of sites, PHP, MYSQL, and PHPMyAdmin. If I install the ISPmanager Pro license, will that delete all my services on the VM? How do I only install the ISPmanager Pro license without messing up the other configs on my VM?

[anthonysomerset]

the only way i know is to backup your sites, install ispmanager and manually import the sites one by one - this is one of the reasons they reccomend fresh systems when installing CP's

[MuffinDad]

I'm doing the miminum install (webserver only) b/c I already have nginx installed and it fails/sticks at "checking www"

Anyone have ideas on how I can get around this problem?

[MuffinDad]

And apparently it blew up my webserver b/c my wordpress site I had on the vps is giving me 502 Bad Gateway error

[anthonysomerset]

yeah that is the number 1 reason to install on fresh servers not with servers with sites already on

nginx is setup as a reverse proxy to apache in ispmanager so its probably not setup the way you had it set already

[MuffinDad]

well i kind of expected it - getting my feet wet here so I don't mind I had nothing on the site anyhow.

[MuffinDad]

Started over. Installed Cent w/ LAMP stack (I know not optimal but I'm a newbie). Got ispmanager installed. Now I can't get ipsmanager to connect to my database server - selecting internal, using root and my password. Can't find any docs on the forums about how to connect. I'm sure I'm missing something simple...

Thanks!

the mysql password might not be the same as the root password - the following may help you reset it to work with ispmanager - http://www.howtoforg...l-root-password

Hello Guys.

I hope it's not a problem if I ask a question here.
My goal is to have a system where I can run a couple of WordPress sites on which are on different domain names.
(domaina.com, domainb.net and domainc.nl).
One WordPress site has around 100k pageviews per month, But I'm expecting more visitors and therefore I need scalability.

I just reinstalled a brand new CentOS 5.5 x64 Optimized and Hardened Virtual Machine

Directly after that I installed Ispmanager via

wget "http://download.ispsystem.com/install.sh"
sh install.sh

The installation went correctly (I needed to reboot and restart the installation).
BTW I chose for the full package ispmanager installation.
I added a user with and a domain

Now I want to add some features to my machine.
1) phpmyadmin
2) Nginx
3) Fast-CGI
4) APC

Phpadmin is giving me a headache. I was able to install it with the RPMForge custom repository

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
yum install phpmyadmin

after that to make it visible in ispmanager I had to do this:

yum makecache
/usr/local/ispmgr/sbin/pkgctl cache

I installed it via the "Applications" screen in ispmanager.
and activate it within ispmanager. But from there I'm completely stuck and don't know what to do.
Going to http://IP/phpmyadmin brings me a 404 Not Found error.

P.s. I already tried the command

service httpd restart

but without any luck.

Any thoughts on that one?

I've installed Nginx following this tutorial:
http://en.ispdoc.com...in_CentOS_Linux
And was able to activate it in ispmanager.
How do I check if Nginx is handling PHP in stead of Apache? Is there A way I can check?

I've installed Fast-CGI following this tutorial:
http://en.ispdoc.com...in_CentOS_Linux
But anytime I use PHP As Fast-CGI and go to a php file I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

I know these are quite some questions but I just don't have that much experience on Linux Administation. (I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff) I'm willing to learn though.

Thanks a lot in advance

Paul

[paulwillen]

Figured the phpmyadmin question out.
Seems Like I've done it correctly but don't need to go to http://[IP]/phpmyadmin but to http://[IP]/myadmin

Now sorting out the other questions, but if you're willing to help it would be great

Paul
